I got a full box of copax from a friend of parents, but the exp date is this month. Will the med still be good or not?

the friend switched to avonex I belive, had the meds stored properly and all.

I would certainly call the company and ask.

Better safe than sorry with something you are putting into your body!

I don't know, but it seems like it would have to in order to prevent demyelenation in the brain.

I've always thought that expiration dates have time padded in but of course I can't advise you on whether or not to use them. Best of luck.

Called Shared Solutions and find out what to do. I'd definitely would find out if it's still ok to take. Let us know what you find out. I'm curious to hear what they advise.
